I had my chest tattoo done and it turned out really nice! I was really nervous at first but the artist made me feel comfortable and got me through it. Alvi was really nice and friendly I would definitely recommend for anyone getting their first tattoo or looking to get a nice piece done. A++
Lucky Orts
Got my first Tattoo today done by Pat. I was a bit nervous at first but he made me feel very comfortable. Pat managed to make my tat even better than the picture I've shown him. I am super happy with his work and would definitley recommend going there. Thank you guys for your awesome work!
Tickle Ticklelino
Love the new location. This was my 2nd tattoo and Rob was as friendly and professional as before. Highly recommended!!
Jan McNay
Really good Piercer. Had my rook done on my ear and it didn't hurt one bit.
chantel morgan
Simply awesome experience. I had an intimate piercing done in the wrong place at different establishment. I spoke to Rob about it and he was professional, understanding and re-pierced it where it needed to be. I am going back for more peircings and tattoos after the lockdown. Thank you Rob, keep safe and I'll see you soon.
Karinda
Rob was very kind and reassuring, the environment was very sterile and welcoming. Would recommend for everyone, whether it's their first time getting a piercing or not:)
Nadia Oppatt

Rob is an amazing tattoo artist, he fixed my tattoo which made me more confident!! Thank you Rob!
Tim Lin
I have been to Living Art (and old Primal) for 90% of all of my piercings, and every time has been quick, painless and stress free. Vertical Labret - Ten years strong and still perfect! I also had my Septum pierced roughly 2 years back, for this one I was very nervous but Robs confidence makes you feel a lot better and it was perfectly straight and amazing. I warn everyone to try not to play with your new piercings as much as possible!! I am a hay fever sufferer and couldn't help it and made my own septum slightly crooked during the healing process, thankfully you can only tell when I look up!! ;) either way, the team here are the bomb and I'll be coming back for years to come, guaranteed.
Courtney O'Connor
Super happy with my tattoo ! I was seen by Rob who i believe is the owner. His humor calmed the nerves and he was so quick that it was over before i knew it. Thanks Living Art !
Varshan Pere
Alvi did an amazing job on my thigh cover up! I've only finished one session but she was amazing! She didn't push me to doing more when I was starting to feel uncomfortable. I can't wait to see this piece finished 😍 Also can't wait for the sleeve plans!
Daniella Flores
Incredible job created by Rob! Turned out much better than what I had expected. Both Rob and the receptionist that I didn't catch the name of are down to earth and really easy to deal with. I'll be back to see Rob at some point I'm sure. Thanks Rob!
Adam Small
The most hilarious experience I've ever had at a tattoo/piercing shop!! Clean, tidy, and will definitely be back again!!!

His work place is very clean and tidy. Overall I am very satisfied. Thank you so much. I Will be returning to get a tattoo and more peircings lol
melissa poneka
I’m 46yrs old and finally decided to get a tattoo. I got hold of Rob and asked him to have a look at my design. He was prompt and very friendly, so a booking was made. I was blown away with the suggested addition to the design, which further enhanced the meaning behind it. The whole process was flawless, and apart from his professionalism, he was really funny with a great sense of humour. I’m pleased to say that my tat looks fab, the stencil work is just top notch. If you’re considering getting a tattoo, I would highly recommend his outfit. Cheers Rob! Martin Murphy
Impulse9NZ
Got inked by the lovely Alvi. Very happy with my very first tattoo. Fun and very welcoming girl. Highly recommend A ++. Will be coming for more. 👌
Rosarine Kauapa
Never have I been in a tattoo studio that was so relaxing. It was like I'd gone to a spa but instead of getting a massage I got inked. Rob the tattoo artist was friendly, easygoing and professional with a steady hand and the studio itself was clean and comfortable. Very happy with the work I had done and would definitely go here again.
Amy Nisbett
Very very pleased with the piercing I had done. Rob defiantly knew what he was doing and explained everything I wanted to know clearly. I got a very warm welcome when walking into the shop. The whole place was very clean and all tools were sterilised and disposed of as I would expect. Even the after care has been great, answering my questions and suggesting different options etc. I would highly recommend Living Arts. Thanks guys
Lucy Spants
Had my tattoo completed with Rob yesterday. A week prior I had gone in and explained the story behind the tattoo and what I was looking to get. Yesterday Rob blew me away with the end result, the tattoo was more than I ever could have expected it to turn out like. Rob takes the time to listen and understand, he will recommend but never pushy, and makes you feel 100% comfortable. Rob is very gentle when it comes to tattooing, although that may sound odd, people who’ve been tattooed will understand what I mean by that. Highly recommended, if you need a piece done, go to Rob he will give it justice.
Sarah Roberts
Rob has done an amazing job for me. He was very professional and talked me through everything clearly. After breast cancer 🎀 and bi lateral mastectomies, I eventually had my reconstruction. Rob completed my journey back to feeling feminine again with having the tattoos done. Rob has before and after pics fir anyone to see the amazing work he has done. Thank you so very much Rob. I will always recommend you to others and I will never go anywhere else myself. Regards Paula
Paula Ayris-webster
Thank you soooo much Alvina, I am absolutely in love with this tattoo 😍😍😍 thank you for your dedication and making me feel so at ease but most of all, I appreciate the fact that you actually took your time to make it perfect just for me :) Can't recommend this young lady enough!! For someone who hasn't been in this industry for long, she has achieved alot and Her work just keeps getting better and better 👌 I honestly think she is going places, so y'all should keep a lookout for this one!!
Sophie I
I explained to him what I wanted and the design surpassed my expectations. Absolutely love my tattoo. Thank you very much and will definitely be back. Very friendly, clean and professional. 10/10
Tui Wilson
Rob was so wonderful with helping us create and get our first tattoos (including adapting to our ever-changing designs). We were nervous but he was able to instantly create a calming atmosphere so even my sister with a fear of needles managed to go through with getting her tattoo done. Would definitely recommend his service to anyone - he's professional, friendly and super talented. Thanks so much!
Tori Engle
Living Art Tattoos & Body Piercing, Owner and Staff, were amazing today, their customer service was excellent, and the service given was outstanding!

Just had my first Tattoo with Rob. He did a great job and made the experience a great one! Would highly recommend! Great shop layout and very hygienic.
David Feeney
Experienced, Professional, and Exceptional. Rob is an expert and I could not recommend this store nearly enough. Living Art is my go-to with body mods, and I will be returning happily for years to come.
GSAD FAM
Rob was very professional and I was pleased with the design of my tattoo. I have also had my nose pierced here and again a professional relaxed atmosphere.
Tatia Adams
Awesome. Could not have asked for a better experience.
D Barnes-Vaughn
If you are after a testosterone laden environment, with Harley's and '56 Chevy's, this may not be the place for you. If you are into art, a clean spotless facility, willing to help with design , placement and perfect execution of your design, then this is your place. Great customer service. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Best experience ever. Got exactly what I wanted and am really happy with my decision.
Philip Esdaile
Love my Tatts really friendly team.
Blake Purcell
Great service.
Michelle Foley
I always get my tattoos here, and got my sister coming here now too. The service is excellent, and the tattoos always turn out really well. Rob is a really cool guy, with over two decades of experience. I cannot recommend this place more.
Mario Kiss
The result was perfect, it only took 25 minutes and Rob was brilliant. He put me at ease right from the initial enquiry as I had never had a tattoo before. I was really impressed with the website, it stood out from the others that I had looked at in the area. Rob is very professional and has a great product. I would highly recommend anyone to go to Living Art Tattoos. (Andrea Boyd using my husbands account!)
Simon Boyd
Impulsive I, decided to get my belly piercing redone jumped online to see who was open...New Years Eve day you see...phoned in to see if needed an appointment..just come in in half hour, 10.30am ..out by 11 and back at the gym...didnt feel a thing. Very accomodating and a bit of a character, I enjoy banter....I have on my bucket list getting a tattoo, I guess Ive found where I shall be returning to for a tattoo...cheers thanx
msjacquec campbell
100% recommend, Rob does an amazing job and always makes you feel comfortable. Never disappointed after seeing him after getting any piercing. Thanks Rob!
Rylee Hazlewood
I've been here for 3 piercings and 4 tattoos. They're very friendly and alvi is an amazing artist.
Dannielle Morris
Rob is the only tattooist that I use. I have been going to see him for many, many years. He is always so professional, has fantastic ideas when I am unsure what I am and does a beautiful job. I have had a full sleeve done and other tattoos. My daughter has also had tattoos from him. Love his work !!
nikki shute
Their advice is very good! I had a nose piercing for over 6 months which I had gotten done at KEEN ON PIERCING. The second time i enquired into what the bump was, they recommended studex and nothing further. I had 9 keloids over the course of 6 months!!! I HAD ENOUGH. Living art changed my piercing to a screw on. They also recommended using tea tree oil, however with the simple change of jewelry, the keloid had disappeared. Never had any problems since, hoping it heals right this time round. I would highly recommend living art, as they are honest in what they do.
Ben Malu
Absolutely brilliant, I asked for a 3d tattoo and that is exactly what I got. I would recommend Rob to anyone that want a tattoo. It was professional and worth the money I spend. Will definitely go back for my other tattoos
Sean Rocher
great experience and great tattoo
Josh Andrell
I went to get my eyebrow pierced on Satuday and the experience was absolutely perfect. Rob was super nice, got the piercing done nice and quick but in a very professional and accurate manner, and I came out with a piercing that I'm very happy with. The studio was super hygienic and clean. I'll definitely be coming back. :)
Sadie Summers
Got my cover up tattoo done today and my experience was excellent! Rob was professional and did a great job. Life changing. Would definitely come back again. My new Rose is badass!
Jay Mataia
Got 2 of my tattoos from Alvi last year and I love them so much, the work is incredible, Alvi is improving so fast and I'm happy that she's doing her job so well. Totally recommended. Will visit again.
Gavin Mak
Got my first tattoo there , a cross on my arm. It is more than I expected. I went there with an idea, and what Rob suggested was way better than what I had in mind. Amazing job so proud of my decision choosing Rob to do my first tattoo. Looking forward to get the second one. His sense of humour and the relaxing environment made our visit absolutely unique.

Looking forward to my seventh tattoo in 7 months on 3 Feb at Living Art Tattoos and Body Piercing!! Super happy with every piece he's done for me, and the fact he really understands what I want - from my often vague instructions, and comes up with great suggestions for designs I'd like too! For anyone wanting a tattoo, I'd highly recommend you book an appointment with him.
Rebecca Brockwell-Auckland

Rhothia Smit
I went in on Friday afternoon not knowing the $15 special had ended. However I was taken care of in a professional and respectful way. I was even offered a discount on the piercings I wanted. Which was so incredibly gracious. I felt very safe, and the aftercare instructions were very clear. I'm very thankful to the piercer. It's so important for people in such industries to be kind and respectful. And I received exactly that treatment.
Xander Butler
Very helpful good communication highly recommended
Laken Tomars
I highly recommend Living Art (Rob) I did the piercing training through living art and it was worth every cent. Rob made me feel comfortable which took alot of the stress away. The training is perfect, well explained. He even offered me a job afterwards and stated that if I ever need help or guidance after the training he will be there to help. Even if I wasn't to work with him. If you ever want to get into the piercing or even tattoo industry Living Art is definitely the place to go!

Got a quick tattoo here this morning of my baby’s birth date and the service was great right from the beginning.

He was friendly and easy to get along with too :) enjoyed my experience here

Rob done an amazing cover up Koi tattoo for me over a large black kanji tattoo that nearly every other shop said was impossible or said I would need expensive laser surgery first. It has been nearly 4 weeks since I got it done and it healed very quickly and looks great. He done it all in one session and is an awesome friedly dude. Excellent customer service, clean and awesome shop. Definitely coming back here! Thanks so much Rob!!

I visited Rob to see if he could cover a drunken mistake I got done In my teens. I've seen other tattooists who all said no they can't help. My partner mentioned him and he said yes he could help. I've waited 8 years to finally cover it up and he done an amazing job I'm so wrapped and pleased I absolutely love my new Dragon tattoo I'm so proud to wear it. His name is Whero. I will definitely be back to get more. I'm a very happy customer the price was fair his studio clean and tidy he made me feel comfortable and relaxed with a movie to watch. Thank you so much Rob I love my Dragon so much...

Adelaide Cherrington
Such a privilege to have Rob tattoo myself and my two sisters recently. He puts you at ease while working and makes sure you are comfortable with the TV on. His work spaces are tidy and was very accommodating with the pieces we all chose on the day. This was my sixth tattoo and I will be back for more
Ray White Swanson

Eshwa 94
What a great experience I had getting my Tatt . Rob put me at ease straight away , and managed to get me in sooner than expected . 5.5 hours just flew by for me , not so sure about Rob though . The end result is more than pleasing ,and worth every dollar. No need to ask where I'm going for my next one. Cheers Rob , a true artist , and Gent .
Ian Robinson
Redid my adult ear piercing which had been botched as a child. Did my daughter age 11. Very sensible and treated her like a sensible young adult. Recommend highly. Don't get your childrens ears pierced by a pharmacy newbie
Melanie Rees
Both of my tattoos are done by Alvina, the shop is amazing and their service is very good. Alvina is amazing, she designed both of my tattoos. Definitely recommend the place!
Helen Peng
Very pleased with my experience here. Super affordable and professional. I was pierced by a trainee and the owner supervised her. They were both very professional and made the experience very pleasant. I'd highly recommend getting your piercing done here!
B.E.V Birds eye View
Rob is an amazing artist with the cultural and historical knowledge and personality to know what kind of tattoo fits a person. He'll do that stupid shark tattoo you want but he'll even make it look goooood. I've spent about 9 hours as his canvas so far and I would highly recommend him for someone looking for a powerful, meaningful tattoo.
Steven Yang
Great experience. Relaxed atmosphere. Very very clean (as an ED nurse it was a must for me) thank you
Laura Cole
Tattoo artist made sure I was comfortable and had water and napkins on hand. Hout on the latest movie for me while he started on my tattoo. I called the shots and Whenever I wanted to take a break he was very happy to let me do my thing. He even suggested at no extra cost we could do the tattoo in stages if it was too much to handle. Lovely man. He is worth every cent. I am considering going back for more work done. Excellent
Soteria Mareko
5 stars absolutely amazing experience, professional and it all turned out looking sharp and clean, she even stayed at the parlor late so she could fit me in. thank You Alvina!! ❤
Will Tomkinson
Alvina done my tattoo 2 weeks ago and im still obsessed with it I cant stop staring at it. She was so lovely and comforting (as it was my first) and settled all questions and nerves that I had. The process was easy and straight forward right from the start and id happily be tattooed by her again. Ive also got to add that the fact that the tattoo room had a tv in there and had "tattoos after dark" playing was a huge relief too as i have major anxiety and kept thinking about the awkward silence that would occur but nothing of that sort happened which extremely made me feel welcomed. I would without a doubt recommend Living Art Tattoos & Body Piercing to anyone and everyone!
Tyler Moore
Rob is absolutely fantastic. I was really scared as thought a belly button piercing would hurt. Did not even realize when he was done. Highly recommend.
Karina Adkar
I spend one year in New Zealand and i absolutely wanted a very special souvenir. My favourite New Zealand bird: the fantail. So I emailed Rob a picture and we spoke about it and I got my appointment. Rob is a very friendly and highly talented Tattoo Artist and he absolutely knows what he is doing. The result was amazing! Its my most beautiful Tattoo and I've never seen such a good healing process on one of my other Tattoos. I'm really proud to have a wonderful piece of Robs art on my Body now! Thank you so much!
Sophie Eichhorn-Sammelhammer
AMAZING! Will not be going anywhere else. Professional, kind, SAFE and just over all great service. 10000/10

Antonia Wade
We love Robert!
Shannon Hollis
Amazing tattoist

I can't say enough good things about Rob and Living Art Tattoos & Body Piercing. Rob did an absolute AMAZING job on my tattoo. The colours are absolutely unbelievable!!! I had no idea colours that good were even possible in a Tattoo. The artwork itself is a masterpiece!! Rob is truly a Guru and Legend with decades of experience!!! The store itself is immaculate, clean and extremely hygienic (which was important to me). The atmosphere is extremely relaxing and friendly. Rob is a true professional. An interesting and entertaining bloke. Highly recommend anyone to get their tattoo or piercing done here!!! A+++

Love this place:) my very very first time at a tattoo shop in my past 21 years. I had my nose piercing with Rob, and I came all the way from Mount Albert which is a bit far way. Lucky it was worth...Rob is professional and not talkative at all which really surprised me lol😂😂I was quite nervous at there, and he was so cool. So far so good, no swollen, no infection. Good price and good quality. Thanks Rob!

We had the best experience getting our daughter's ears pierced: professional and clean. For a kid who was nervous, you put her mind at ease, talked her through the process and effortlessly pierced her ears. It was exactly why we wanted to go to you rather than a chemist! Thank you

Rob made me feel so comfortable and he really listened to what I was wanting to do.... His premises are so clean and I really valued the privacy of the individual rooms... I LOVE my two new Tattoos and I cant wait to continue to have Rob tell my story through his talented Tattos.... Thank you Rob for everything.

Had the absolute pleasure of being inked by ALVI last weekend ❤ She is just wow ! I walked in going with a gut feeling to trust her and I'm so glad I did. She has great customer service and mad needle skills 👌 She made sure everything was perfect; she didn't rush or make me feel uncomfortable at all; if I'm honest I totally forgot she was working on me most of the time. It's almost finished healing and I'm even more happy with the result than when I first got it 😍 I cannot recommend her more ! I will be back ! Thanks so much babe ! See you soon ! X
